A list of hoaxes and false claims pushed by Jacob Wohl within the past year:
He created a fake intelligence agency that smeared Robert Mueller.
usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
He appeared to fake death threats against himself, which he reported as real to Minnesota police.
thedailybeast.com/jacob-wohl-fak…
He repeatedly pushed hoaxes from fake news site YourNewsWire -- and later wrote a piece for the site.
mediamatters.org/blog/2018/08/0…
He pushed a false claim from a major QAnon account about Adam Schiff (his father also pushed the account's false claim).
He pushed a false claim that Kamala Harris wasn't constitutional eligible to be president -- a day after after that same QAnon account pushed it.
He falsely claimed that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was going to resign from the Supreme Court the following day (at a time in which QAnon-led conspiracy theories about Ginsburg's health were going around).
He told USA Today that he was creating fake left-wing social media accounts to influence the 2020 presidential race, seemingly a violation of those platforms' rules. Twitter later banned Wohl as a result.
The new report tonight that he created a false sexual assault claim against Pete Buttigieg.
thedailybeast.com/far-right-smea…
And his "hipster coffee shop" claims, which he admitted he made up.
usatoday.com/story/news/201…
Wohl now appears to have tried organizing a fake protest against himself.

New from me: I put together a list of how Trump and multiple people in Trump's orbit have repeatedly amplified QAnon supporters & their content. Trump himself has now amplified QAnon Twitter accounts more than 25 times.
mediamatters.org/twitter/fbi-ca…
Among those in Trump's orbit who have repeatedly amplified QAnon accounts include Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
"Women for Trump," a coalition group for Trump's reelection campaign, also has multiple connections to QAnon. One co-chair is a QAnon supporter, while another is scheduled to attend a QAnon-connected conference & has repeatedly amplified QAnon accounts.

This now-suspended fake account was pushed as real by multiple people, including Curt Schilling (who has a history of pushing hoaxes), Carpe Donktum, David Wohl, & The Donald subreddit.
It was also pushed as real by a member of the Trump campaign group "Women for Trump" and by a California Republican congressional candidate.
They have since deleted their tweets, but it appears that a Breitbart reporter & Turning Point USA advisory council member Joel Fischer (who also has a history of falling for falsities: ) also fell for the fake account.

THREAD: Moderators of The Donald subreddit -- which was quarantined in June for violating Reddit policy about issuing calls to violence -- participated in reviving & spreading on Twitter a troll campaign that appears to violate Twitter rules on election misinformation.
On Tuesday, a user posted a meme of Putin, with the hashtag "DemandVoterID." The meme & hashtag refer to a troll campaign from 2018 following the Trump-Putin Helsinki press conference (dailydot.com/layer8/demand-…). The post has been one of the top posts on the subreddit this week.
In response to the post, other users on the subreddit wrote that they posted the meme & hashtag on Twitter & were then penalized by the platform for “violating our rules against posting misleading information about voting.”

Inspector General says the Justice Department "failed to conduct a comprehensive legal analysis" before using administrative subpoenas to gather, in bulk, metadata about billions of telephone calls from the United States to other countries.
Some background: The DEA secretly gathered records of Americans' calls to 116 countries using a very aggressive interpretation of its subpoena powers. The program started under then- (and now) Attorney General William Barr. usatoday.com/story/news/201…
The DEA also used its administrative subpoena power to gather "bulk purchase data for a particular good or service." The Inspector General doesn't say what it was, but says the DEA demanded lists of customers.

Wohl's about to get all the attention he ever wanted.

I have little sympathy for a guy who's track record is one of ceaseless lies, faking stuff, and vain self promotion, using MAGA as just another gimmick to get himself attention.
Literally every single time I was forced to notice Wohl it was because I was having to push back on some fake crap he was pushing.

Literally everything about him was fake.

I thought it couldn't get any dumber after he tried to create a fake 'intelligence agency'.
Then came the "Rober Mueller - RAPIST!" press conference where the other guy stood there next to Wohl for like an hour with his fly unzipped.

Now he's gone and faked a crime against himself, from what I'm hearing today.

1/FINALLY decoded the Vive / Viva text, classified at the highest level. Suspected it, but was very sobering to see in 'black and white'. Need to see #Justice for these treasonous traitors (re-tweeting from friend's deleted account)
2/'Viva Le Resistance' was a redacted, i.e. HIGHLY CLASSIFIED text between Lisa Page and another FBI lawyer during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. It appears unredacted in the June 2018 IG report AND is referenced by @DevinNunes. Why is this important/Why classified???
3/Viva Le Resistance is NOT proper French Grammar. The A and the E are mistaken. FBI lawyers aren't dummies. It's 'misspelled' for a REASON. IMO it is CODE for
A ss*assinat E . Should read "Vive La Resistance" to be proper French Grammar. But what do VIVA and VIVE mean?

🏔️This tells you everything you need to know about U.S. Senator Jon Tester from #Montana: he made history as being the first member of Congress who posted his daily schedule online.
⚡️Here's Tester's latest public schedule:

tester.senate.gov/?p=schedule
🚜But in case you need to know a little more, he is part of the third generation from his family who have resided in Montana & has shown that he will protect the state from interlopers. The top “issue” on his campaign website is “fighting for veterans.”

When it rains it pours. ⛈️

Wednesday was an outrageously busy day in #TrumpRussia news & revelations, so we did our best to summarize for you.

This THREAD is formatted as:

🔹A) What happened?
🔹B) Why is it important?

In conclusion, we remind you what YOU can do to help.
1A) The Senate Judiciary Committee released all transcripts/documents (some redactions) from its investigation into Russian interference and potential Trump campaign coordination. judiciary.senate.gov/press/releases…
1B) The release of 1000s of pages casts light on the Trump Tower mtg, including coordination of stories by attendees, inconsistencies in Don Jr.'s testimony & hints of Trump's knowledge of the mtg & involvement in the false story Don Jr. initially put out. nytimes.com/2018/05/16/us/…
